Description
January-February 2016. Watching brief.
A small pit was recorded in the east facing section of Test Pit 212, which lay to the west of Maypole Lane and north of Mitchells Barn. This feature was around 0.9m wide and 0.4m deep with a rounded base. As it was only visible in one section it has been interpreted as pit rather than a ditch but could conceivably represent the remains of a ditch terminal. No
dating material was recovered from the fill of the feature. <1>
